The new original Starz drama “Vida” has been gaining momentum since launching on May 6th. Created by Tanya Saracho, the buzz for the series mainly emphasizes its Latinx focused, female-driven, queer storyline. But, it would be a shame if the solid supporting cast were to go unmentioned as part of the reason for its success.

One such member of this stellar group is actress Elena Campbell-Martinez, who shines as the neighborhood’s motherly figure and spiritual healer ‘Doña Lupe’.

Think Elena looks familiar? Well, she should considering this talented actress appeared in Clint Eastwood’s biopic “The 15:17 to Paris” and also on Популярное Телевидение shows, such as “The Big Bang Theory,” “Modern Family,” and Amazon’s “Hand of God.”

I recently caught up with Elena Campbell-Martinez to find out more.

Tell us about Doña Lupe from “Vida.”

ELENA CAMPBELL-MARTINEZ: Doña Lupe is a Mexican curandera (spiritual healer) that lives in the building that the two sisters have just inherited. Doña Lupe has known these girls their entire lives. Lyn in particular relies on...

Ever wonder what it would be like to work for the CIA, solve national security issues and take orders from a TV star?

Well, Ты don’t have to Присоединиться President Trump’s team to do all of this. Instead, get hired for a recurring role alongside чай Leoni and Tim Daly on the CBS hit political drama, “MADAM SECRETARY.”

Actress CHRISTINE GARVER has done exactly that. She first came into the storyline last year, but disappeared for a bit. Now, she’s back – and ready to help the team tackle the latest global issues plaguing the White House.

Some of Ты will recognize Christine from her role as the secretary Moira on the final seasons of AMC’s iconic series, “Mad Men.” She also portrayed Sally Field’s younger self on “Brothers & Sisters,” and appeared on “NCIS,” ”Criminal Minds” and “Stitchers.”

I recently had a chance to catch up with Christine Garver to find out more:

It’s hard to believe that Рождество was a месяц ago. All the decorations are now packed up tightly, half the toys received are broken, the daily grind is back in full свинг, качели and all those original Рождество TV Фильмы are long gone – или are they?

I have a feeling there’s one movie among all the new holiday tales that is still being saved on DVR’s everywhere (including mine). Of course, I’m referring to Melissa Joan Hart’s Рождество rom-com, “A VERY MERRY TOY STORE.”

Originally airing in December on Lifetime, Melissa stars with Mario Lopez as rival toy Магазин owners who reluctantly Присоединиться forces against the “bad” guys – a devious toy magnate and his henchwoman, Miss Halifax.

These “bad” characters are so “good” that I jumped at the chance to ask actress CAMERON MEYER some Вопросы about Miss Halifax and more:

Give us a recap of your role in “A Very Merry Toy Store.”

CAMERON: Billy Gardell plays the unscrupulous owner of a chain of big-box toy stores that comes to a small town. I play his henchwoman, like his right hand.

I Любовь TV shows, Фильмы just can't compare. That being said, I haven't watched many TV shows, I'm picky and most don't appeal. (No vampires, romance shows for instance, just don't like them, most Популярное shows fit in those categories, but Эй,
this is my Список and my opinions, not anyone else's) Currently these are my Избранное shows starting with the greatest Показать out there:

1. 24

(9 seasons and TV movie, 2001-2010, 2014)

24 is the best Показать of all time! It's easily #1, none can come even close for me ever! Agent Jack Bauer works for CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) dealing with (terrorists) assassination attempts, nuclear attacks, bio-terrorism, torture, traitors, sleeper cells, other bad guys in 24 hours (hence the name, 24). Each episode is an час in the Показать (about 40 минуты for us without commercials) with 24 episodes, each covering an non-consecutive день in Bauer's life. CTU helps stop the attacks with amazing agents, such as Nina Myers, Tony Almeida, George Mason, Chase Edmunds, Michelle Dessler, the Список goes on and on of agents who risk their lives to save the world from merciless...

This review is dedicated to Adam West, William Dozier, and all the wonderful people who helped make the show.

The first Бэтмен Показать was just called Batman. The Показать started in 1966 and had 3 seasons as well as a film called Batman: The Movie (1966). There was also 2 animated films based on the Показать called Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016) and Бэтмен vs. Two-Face (2017).

The Plot

Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson protect Gotham as the Dynamic Duo: Бэтмен and Robin. The 2 Герои saved the city by themselves in the show's first 2 seasons, but Batgirl started helping them in the 3rd season. They battled the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler, and a bunch of new villains.

The Показать is often treated like an outdated goofy Показать that gets respect for nostalgia. However I think there are several other reasons to be a Фан of the Показать other than nostalgia. I didn't grow up with this version of Бэтмен so my true enjoyment of the Показать comes from what a good Показать it is. The show's comedic qualities were intentional. The show's corny antics are delightfully fun. 1 big element that keeps the Показать exciting is that the villains have such unique...

The backbone of any Телевидение Показать is the “character” actor. These are the men and women who Ты might not remember by name, but Ты recognize their face. And, when they do their job right – they elevate the Показать to another level.

One such actor who has burst onto Телевидение screens everywhere is Cory Blevins. He recently appeared as FBI Special Agent Buchholz in EPIX original comedy series, “Get Shorty,” chasing down луч, рэй Romano and Chris O’Dowd. Also the fall, Cory also joined the cast for one of the final episodes of the beloved Netflix show, “Longmire,” and one of the first episodes of the new CBS cop drama, “S.W.A.T.”

еще of a comedy fan? Then, Ты might recognize Cory from his role as Eddie’s girlfriend’s dad, Gary Olsen, on ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat”; или as the Network Lawyer fighting with George Lopez on TV Land’s, “Lopez.”

With all the political chaos happening this year, the CBS drama "MADAM SECRETARY" has done a good job of creating political escapism. No matter how intense the storylines get – at least Ты know they’re fiction.

In the Последнее episode, titled “Persona Non Grata,” Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni) plans a summit at Kyrgyzstan to address their human trafficking problem – even though their President denies the problem.

This episode brought back a few things from last season: the human trafficking issue, the President of Kyrgyzstan and his trusty Translator, played by actress NATALIE KIM.

I had a chance to catch up with Natalie, who isn’t from Kyrgyzstan, doesn’t speak Russian and loves to draw cartoons.

Tell us about your recurring role in “Madam Secretary.”

Natalie: I play a translator for the President of Kyrgysztan and she is a humorous and loves American pop culture. It was the first time I had to speak Russian and with a Russian accent and it was very cool.

The latest real crime story to get a reboot as a network Телевидение is “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders”. And, if Ты thought the original murder case of Lyle and Erik Menendez was riveting, then you’re going to Любовь this show.

Stephanie has appeared on numerous TV shows, including "Jane the Virgin," "Life in Pieces," "Grey’s Anatomy," "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Shooter" and most recently the new CW military drama, "Valor."

A California native, Stephanie earned a degree from the университет of Notre Dame and was part of the Navy ROTC program. Afterwards, she was commissioned an Officer in the U.S. Navy and was twice awarded the Navy Achievement Medal for her anti-terrorist efforts while deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Stephanie Sanchez recently took some time to answer some Вопросы about her latest role:

There are quite a lot of awesome tv shows in production in 2017, so lots of great shows can slip through the cracks. Here are 5 under-watched shows that I thought I'd promote as damn fine viewing!

5. Fortitude

It is a little hard to describe what Fortitude is about without spoiling it, but basically it follows the weird and violent events that occur in an arctic town called Fortitude. It can get pretty gruesome, creepy and weird in this isolated little town. The plot and the characters are intriguing, and there is some beautiful cinematography capturing icy arctic landscapes.

Most people Любовь a classic ‘who-done-it’ type of story. Investigation Discovery (ID) has been playing into that by serving up true-crime tragedies with their Популярное series link

Actress link has appeared in not one, but two episodes of this homicidal re-enactment Показать about Друзья murdering friends. The most Последнее titled “Band of Brothers,” finds Christine as a single mother faced with the brutal death of her son.

Of course, Christine has done some other stuff, too. She can be seen on the festival circuit right now in the dark comedy “Jesse’s Girl,” and she’s shooting a recurring role in the satirical web series “Blactually.” Also, before she took up acting, Christine was a member of New York’s famed Joffrey Ballet.

Nobody likes a know-it-all, but sometimes you’re glad to have one around. Enter Adam Conover and his hilarious investigative series link on TruTV.

In the Последнее episode “Adam Ruins Weight Loss,” actress link joins in the debunking activities as a Southern Chef going head-to-head with fat-free foods. Spoiler alert – they’re not so good for you.

The Houston, Texas native, who now spends time in Los Angeles, has deep roots in the south, starting her performing career as a...

I Любовь the Показать of 24 and I decided to rank the my Избранное characters, this time minus spoilers for those who may have not seen the Показать или may have not seen all of it. Here goes with the first (and obvious) Избранное character:

Jack Bauer –

Where in the world do Ты start with Jack Bauer? First of all he is the best TV character of all time, barring no one. He suffers tragic loss and extreme pain and torture (as well as inflicting some himself) takes out the bad guys and saves the world from horrific terror attacks, all in 24 hours, time after time! He is very loyal, shows no mercy and looks awesome with a gun and sunglasses. He is a modern superhero who is unforgettable and can always be relied upon to save the day. Plus he’s the one character Ты never have to worry about dying, no matter how much danger he’s in. He works at the L.A. Counter Terrorism Unit and is a key member of their team, serving in various positions throughout his career and is close to several people who work there, who can always be relied upon to have his back, when no one else does. His family members include his wife Teri and daughter Kim, both of which unwittingly...

Twilight Sparkle is a student of Princess Celestia who moves to Ponyville to finally get some friends. She becomes best Друзья with 5 female ponies: Applejack, радуга Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. The 6 of them learn important lessons along with Spike (Twilight's helper), the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Starlight Glimmer, and Discord.

A Показать about ponies learning lessons seemed like a repetitive and boring plot, but this Показать is oddly very special. Although the lessons may not be very interesting the show's clever and fun Письмо makes the Показать far еще unique than other shows. The Показать combines cuteness and humor very well.

Characters

Twilight Sparkle is a loveable and cute character. Twilight is my Избранное of the main characters. яблочная водка, яблоко, кальвадоса is admirable, радуга Dash is kind of cool, Fluttershy is sweet, Rarity is fancy and funny, and Pinkie Pie looks cool. The Показать has other good characters like Starlight Glimmer and the Flim Flam brothers. The show's biggest stand out character is Discord. Discord is such a...

It’s summer…the best time of год to binge on all the shows Ты haven’t had time for until now.

The latest worthy of watching is the all-new Season 3 of Netflix’s fan-fav comedy UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT.

The lovable Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) returns with a hankering to hit the Книги as she heads to college. Her new educational outing brings a fresh pack of college besties, including ‘Josie’ played by actress Rachael Meyers. Standing at 6’2”, this real-life former collegiate athlete brings her A-game to the series, scoring plenty of laughs.

Rachael Meyers recently took time to answer a few questions:

Describe for us your role on UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT.

RACHAEL: I play one of Xan's three roommates - a trio of athletes committed to their team. We don't like Xan, but we Любовь Kimmy.

How was it to work alongside Ellie Kemper? And, also with the creator Tina Fey?

RACHAEL: They were both wonderful. Ellie is so vibrant and gracious. Every morning Ты were greeted with a smile, even though Ты know, being a new mom, she was probably up all night. She...

I just finished Чтение a Список of the "greatest" ЛГБТ characters ever on TV. I was not impressed. So I decided that instead of wasting time bitching about their lame list, I'd just make my own. Weird, huh? ;D

This was originally going to be a Список of 10. Then I kept thinking of more. I finally managed to cut myself off at 25. There are a lot of great ЛГБТ characters out there, okay? Anyway, these shouldn't contain any Показать spoilers, so here ya go:

#1 - Tara Chambler (The Walking Dead) Tara Chambler is an actual луч, рэй of sunshine sent by the TV gods to make The Walking Dead a еще tolerable show. She brings a much-needed lightness to TWD and is the one that has to keep reminding these dummies that they need to stick together. So stop making bad things happen to people she loves, dammit.

#2 - Yara Greyjoy (Game of Thrones) Yara. Asha. Whatever Ты want to call her, there's no denying that she's a badass pirate princess. She's orchestrated raids, rescue missions, and a great escape. She stands up for what she believes is right, protects her own, and...

I have a lot of favorites, not brand new tv shows, I haven't seen any, though I would like to I just haven't had the time.

1. Friends

I Любовь Друзья is my Избранное show. Though I didn't start watching it until after I graduated from High School. But I still Любовь it however I hate Ross and Rachel as a couple, I loath them as a couple. I find Ross too controling, he gets jealous easily when it comes to what guys Rachel talks to not including Joey или Chandler. It just really frustrates me that people like them together so much, obviously people don't see the bad in their relationship.

2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I have loved Buffy for a very long time. For the longest time I had wanted to be like Buffy, not because she kills demons and Вампиры but because she is tough, confidant and can stand up for herself. She doesn't let anyone bring her down. Though there is one downfall to the Показать for me, is Dawn, Buffy's sister. She made me really dislike the last 3 seasons. So, did Riley, I found him to be incredibly boring and annoying,...

The New Adventures of Бэтмен is a 1977 animated show. It was made by Filmation who also made the first He-Man Телевидение show.

Plot

Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Bat-Mite protect Gotham City from the villains. Bat-Mite tries to be helpful, but often causes conflicts for the Dynamic Duo. Each episode had a lesson for the kids to learn.

This Показать is 40 years old. Back then plots were really simple and this Показать is proof of that. However the plots aren't bad. The Показать was meant for kids. 1 of the main reasons that the Показать works is for how enjoyably corny and silly the Показать is. In my opinion this Показать is even cornier than the live action Adam West show.

The Heroes

In this Показать Бэтмен and Robin are voiced by Adam West and Burt Ward. Adam West is my Избранное Batman. Mr. West was great at making Бэтмен likeable and fun. This show's Бэтмен is friendlier and less serious than other versions of Batman. I really like this show's lighthearted and fun Batman. Burt Ward did a good job at voicing Robin. Batgirl is forgettable, but okay. Bat-Mite has a...

The Последнее Lifetime movie Britney Ever After was not without some controversy. Her steadfast Фаны are not happy with the un-authorized biopic about their pop princess.

One upbeat note was the appearance of Aussie-actress Claire Cohen as Britney’s Assistant. Claire got to relive some of the stars best (and worst) moments.

This role isn’t the only one that Claire has been gaining attention for. She recently starred as in the black comedy indie film Skid Row Любовь as a young woman torn between Любовь and heroin. She also appeared in the UN Human Rights office’s award winning short The Riddle supporting LGBTQ rights. She first hit the small screen back in Australian recurring as ‘Hazel’ on Nickelodeon’s hit-series Dance Academy.

Claire Cohen recently took time to answer a few questions:

Tell us about your role in Britney Ever After.

CLAIRE COHEN: I played Britney Spears' assistant following her divorce from Kevin Federline during her tumultuous days.

Космос Ghost Coast to Coast is a classic Cartoon Network Показать that has both Анимация and live action. The Показать stars Космос Ghost who is also the звезда of a Hanna-Barbera action show.

The Plot:

Космос Ghost becomes a talk Показать host. His enemies Присоединиться him on the show. Zorak works on Музыка and Moltar's the producer. Космос Ghost has eccentric adventures with his guests and enemies.

This Показать may not be that plot heavy, but I don't think that it was trying to be. It's meant to be a weird and crazy animated Показать and it does that quite well. The Показать may lack a real plot, but some episodes sort of a plot. At least еще than regular talk shows. The "plots" of the Показать may not be that complex, but the show's entertaining weirdness helps make this a good show.

The Characters:

Космос Ghost is a really good leading character. Instead of being a noble super hero this version of him has questionable morals and acts like a goofball. These changes done to Космос Ghost make him work as a comedic character. Zorak, Moltar, and the other enemies are pretty entertaining.

Ever wonder what it’s like to face harrowing confrontations with ghosts and spirits? How would Ты react to a terrifying encounter with the supernatural? This is exactly what the Популярное re-enactment series Paranormal Survivor is all about.

Actress Drea King recently appeared in an all-new episode of the spooky series which airs on Destination America (U.S.) and other networks around the globe.

She has been part of films screened at the Marche de Cannes, Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner, Sarasota Florida, Bahamas International, Sacramento California, and Victoria BC Film Festivals.

Did Ты watch Sweet/Vicious? Do Ты know what it is? The thing that is certain is that Ты should definitely watch this new MTV show! Everyone should be watching this amazing series, and let me tell Ты why in this spoiler free article.

For me, it was really random. I don't watch MTV, and I didn't even have the channel up until last November, and getting it was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. I decided to get the channel so I could watch the last season of Teen волк live on TV instead of streaming it. Then on the night of the premiere, November 15th, I put it on and enjoyed the show. During the breaks, I kept seeing link for a Показать I didn't know, but it looked interesting. This Показать was called Sweet/Vicious, and they were announcing the first season starting right after Teen Wolf. I figured, I'm here already, might as well give it a try. I fell in Любовь during the first act! It had action, levity, drama, everything I look for in a show, plus the two main characters are two strong girls, and both in different ways. Let's take a...

The King of Queens is a sitcom. The Показать stars Kevin James, Leah Remini, Jerry Stiller, Nicole Sullivan, and Patton Oswalt.

The Plots:

The Показать is about Doug Heffernan and his wife Carrie. Doug is a fun, but troublemaking IPS worker who has lots of arguments with Carrie. They live with Carrie's immature dad, Arthur Spooner. The 3 of them have goofy adventures with Doug's friends.

Although Doug and Carrie fighting in every episode could seem tiresome the Показать is so goofy that it remains funny instead of being tiresome. The antics of Doug and his buddies is pretty entertaining. The Показать has 9 seasons so there are a few weak episodes, but the Показать is usually quite good.

Characters:

Doug is the funniest King of Queens character. He's so eccentric and does such goofy things that he's constantly funny. His goofiness combined with Carrie's lack of tolerance for antics equals a good pair. Also Arthur and Doug's Друзья are all entertaining characters.

With the return of Showtime's HOMELAND, Фаны find the thrilling spy tale back on American soil for Season 6.

Whether your candidate won или lost, the Последнее Presidential Election has certainly grabbed everyone’s attention. It was certainly a high stakes drama.

Now, political strategist turned filmmaker Ben Krompak hopes to capitalize on that momentum with a Предварительный просмотр look at the pilot episode of his new scripted series link

Krompak has worked for years as a pollster and strategist, including on Bernie Sanders’ Последнее Presidential campaign. So, it's probably безопасно, сейф to assume this new satirical drama will shed some light on what voters are really thinking, feeling and voting for.

Who knows, “RUNOFF” might even offer some insight as to how all those prediction experts got the real-life election so wrong.

Ben Krompak recently took some time to answer a few questions:
